Registration is now open for Nisbets Live 2026, with a show line-up focused on supporting the hospitality industry. The annual exhibition, now in its fifth year, has developed a programme of events, including exclusive show discounts, live culinary demonstrations and business advice.
Held each year at the National Catering Equipment Centre (NCEC) in Bristol, Nisbets Live brings together hospitality operators from the South West region and beyond to network, discover the latest equipment and catch up on industry trends.
Mark Conron, group head of customer communications, Nisbets UK, explains more: “The hospitality industry continues to face operational challenges, with rising costs, staff recruitment issues and business trading concerns, and this is why we wanted the key focus of Nisbets Live 2026 to be firmly on ‘supporting the hospitality industry’.
“From offering menu inspiration and tips on how to leverage major events, to supporting our customers when purchasing new equipment, we have been working hard to ensure Nisbets Live 2026 will provide the resources to aid operators and help them to advance their business.”
Visitors attending Nisbets Live 2026 can expect the product demonstrations hosted by exhibitors and Mark Veale, Nisbets’ executive chef and NCEC general manager. This year, operators will also be able to sample the Digital Kitchen, as he takes visitors on a culinary journey, exploring the latest food and drink trends, sharing business tips to reduce expenses and creating a menu that maximises profit. A key focus will be the 2026 football World Cup. Using Buffalo equipment, Veale will curate high-profit menus inspired by American, Canadian and Mexican cuisines.
The annual Innovation Challenge also returns to showcase the latest equipment, as exhibitors battle to win visitor votes. Additional business support can be found at the HSBC stand, offering financial advice, while Nisbets colleagues will be on hand to educate around food hygiene regulations.
Nisbets Live 2026 is on 18-19 March at the Nisbets National Catering Equipment Centre, St Brendan's Way, Avonmouth, Bristol BS11 9HA.
